Link,

If you are going to insist that the passages you like to use to support your view teach that "new revelation" is perpetual, then you are going to have to answer my questions and statements concerning their nature and authority, i.e., they being from God must of necessity be inspired, infallible and inerrant. This being indisputable, how do they relate to the authority of the Bible, which is self-attesting to its divine origin, character and authority? On the practical side, what is a person to do who allegedly receives a word from God which doesn't contradict Scripture, e.g., "buy the blue Chevrolet"? Isn't this person under total obligation to obey this "prophecy"? And what is a congregation to do when a person stands up and says that "God has given me a word of exhortation" and tells them that God would have them do such-and-such? Are they not also under total obligation to conform themselves to what was spoken?

Again, the ecstatic gifts, e.g., tongues, prophecy and revelation were temporal and after they had served their divinely appointed purpose for the initial establishment of the Church. What the Church has now and which is its "SOLE and final authority in all matters of faith and practice" is the Scriptures.

Fred Zaspel's article here: A Brief History of Divine Revelation has some relevant things to say about this matter.
